Roth really did perform very well on the 2007-2008 dates...agreed 100% that it was great to see him singing virtually every verse, keeping the inbetween song patter to a minimum. His voice was in really good form, and in many ways his level of performance went a little beyond what I thought he would have been capable of by the time the reunion finally happened. The solo gigs I saw in 2005 and 2006 were solid, but he took it up a notch for Van Halen, where he could have easily just stood center stage, held the mic out towards the audience, did his typical Diamond Dave routine, collected his paycheck and buggered off.And how much better Dave was at doing them!
Gotta admit.....on the reunion tour Dave kicked fucking ass! Sang his way through parts of songs, where in days gone by he would talk his way through, or hoot and holler or something.
He was an absolute professional. Totally kicked fucking ass!
He has always been that way though. Saw him in a club in Wichita, KS in the late 90s. Was absolutely great. The Spam & Dave Tour, he showed the world what a flabby, half-assed loser Spamulus Flatulus the tequila salesman was.
I DO hope they tour again!
Shame Eddie wasn't capable of doing likewise.Scramby eggs and bacon.Comment

I think the reunion tour was simply driven by EVH's empty piggy bank. Of course, AFTER the reunion (i.e. when they actually toured), I'd say they actually jammed and had a good thing with lots of mental breakthrough. EVH got married...Wolf graduating..then the show will be back for our enjoyment. Meanwhile, I suspect a Blu-Ray of the tour coming out. Personally..this sounds corny I know but...remember when the Beatles had that cartoon? Wouldn't it be cool to have a VH cartoon? They could just read some script and the artists could fill in all the rest and play some stuff off the collection. I'm sure Dave would have a ton of creative input for the writers, too.Comment

Van Halen is about as stable as Linsay Lohan on crack, Flinstone vitamins, and Yoohoo. Anything can happen it just takes ten years for it to happen.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

"Dave selling out?". Dave decided to make 20 million or so. Not selling out. Probably been in the jungle for a year!

Selling out might be a little strong. If Dave made 20 million on that tour he should be set for life right ??? Why work with those asshole's ?? If you need a gag order to do it thats bullshit and not rock n roll !! and not Dave Roth !! Unless he is in the jungle. He did run the N.Y. Marathon I think. A new disc & tour won't hurt his pocket book I guess. Whatever, If he's happy thats cool.Comment

He was willing to give it up years ago when he became an EMT. If the radio gig never came along...There is no way Dave is done as a solo artist, regardless the outcome of VH. The guy lives to perform. Unlike Kiss, Dave actually has an artistic bone in his body, plus a drive to continually branch out musically. It has to be killing him waiting in the wings for something to happen. If anything, it is giving him more ideas for songs and lyrics. Lets just hope that Dave, amongst his other ventures, finds the time to sit down with his guitar.
From a Jan. 2006 article:
"When I started doing my EMT work, I had no idea the radio job was even on the horizon. It only showed up at the beginning of the summer. I thought I had the future in sight. I was going to coast - fat, slow and happy. Just when I tried to get out, they dragged me right in again!"Same ole song and dance...Comment
